DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD

*********************************************

Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Some cross-reference verses.

Isaiah 58:14
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

1 Peter 1:8
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

To Delight one's self in the Lord, is to have One Desire only, to please him, and be in his presence. When
this becomes your heart's desire, then the Lord will give you his desires.

Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

That is the meaning here, you do not come up with your desires. This verse has been Misinterpreted and distorted long enough. This is saying, when you get your Heart and Mind totally on JESUS then he will put his desires in your heart, and those are the desires that you can begin to ASK for. Your thoughts will be from him, so your desires will come from the LORD.

He is the one who will be giving you the desires that he wants for you. His desires for you will always be BETTER than any desires you could have for yourself.

So as you Pursue Jesus with all your heart, he will give you the desires in your heart that he wants for your life. Then as you begin to pursue those desires, then he will show you how to use your FAITH to receive them. As you ask you shall receive, since your asking will come from the desires he has planted in your heart and mind.

The very Idea that you yourself could come up with any desire that would be something you should be asking, is silly, since we have already been told that we ASK AMISS.

Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Man's desires will never Measure Up to God’s Desires for us. So stop trying to get God to give you your desires.

JESUS said to Lay up Treasure in Heaven/ Meaning God's desire will always be that whatever you are seeking, it is going to PRODUCE EVERLASTING results. ( not limited to this life results. )
JESUS wants us to be SOWING to our Everlasting Life .

Luk 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
